EVERPOWER IS A WIND INDUSTRY LEADER

EverPower is a fast growing developer, owner, and operator of utility scale wind projects in the US.
Wind power is one of the fastest growing sources of electricity worldwide. Our first wind farm became operational in 2008, and since then we have consistently delivered best-in-class wind projects which provide a strong foundation for continued growth into the future.

EverPower’s mission to honor our core values and apply integrity and innovation to all we do has made us the success we are today. We take great pride in the positive influence our work has on our industry and the nation’s clean energy supply, as well as on the people and places integral to our efforts. We strive to be a good neighbor in the communities in which we operate by working together with local stakeholders from early in the development process right on through the operational life of our wind farms.

The company currently owns and operates 752 MWs of wind turbines across seven sites, with a focus on the liquid PJM electricity network, but we also operate projects in NYISO and CAISO and are now expanding into other market. EverPower uses a mix of greenfield development and strategic acquisitions to fuel its growth and continues to seek out opportunities to grow the company.

The company’s current wind pipeline includes 20 projects capable of delivering over 2,000MWs of clean power into the grid in 8 states. 1,000 MWs of that capacity is targeted to come online within the next three years. We are also now progressing targeted solar and battery storage projects where they complement our core wind activities.

EverPower is owned by Terra Firma, a leading private equity firm and is poised to continue our growth in the renewable energy sector.
